Xbox Tests Achievement Refresh With New Notifications and Profile Controls

The preview signals a broader effort to better celebrate completion through player‑controlled presentation.

Overview

  • Xbox began limited testing with select Insiders, with features expanding to more testers before a wider release.
  • Achievement pop-ups now feature updated icons, new animations for classic and rare unlocks, and colors that match a player’s theme.
  • Games finished at 100% now appear highlighted, and new filters help players quickly surface fully completed titles.
  • An option to hide any game from the public achievements list will arrive for Insiders later this month.
  • Hiding a game only changes how a profile looks, as Gamerscore totals and play activity still register across the Xbox network.
